Right, so it seems that you're still running the previous release as the
fixes are in 2.2.2-0ubuntu9.2. This version will be released built into
the kernel in probably the 2025.03.17 cycle at the latest.

I was able to get the update from the dkms package by enabling noble-
proposed (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed). apt was still
trying to install 2.2.2-0ubuntu9.1, so I enabled only proposed
(temporarily removed all but "noble-proposed" from the suites) and ran
`apt update; apt install zfs-dkms`.

Give that a try and let me know if things work a bit better.


Thanks,
John

Title:
  Activating autotrim results in high load average due to
  uninterruptible threads

Status in Native ZFS for Linux:
  Fix Released
Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in zfs-linux source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed
Status in zfs-linux source package in Oracular:
  Fix Released
Status in zfs-linux source package in Plucky:

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  [Impact]

  * High load averages when activating autotrim. Logs included below SRU
  justification

  [Fix]

  * Cherry-pick a0aa7a2ee3b5: "Autotrim High Load Average Fix"

  [Test Plan]

  * Compile tested
  * Run through autopkgtest regression tests

  [Regression potential]

  * Changes isolated, minimal regression risk. Changes already in
  upstream ZFS

  When activating the autotrim feature on any ZFS version starting from
  2.2.0 this will lead to a permanent increase of the load average (as
  diplayed in top) due to an uninterruptible vdev_autotrim thread for
  each vdev capable of TRIM.

  This issue has been reported
  (https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/15453) as well as fixed
  (https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/15781) upstream but the fix is
  not yet backported to Ubuntu.

  Since this bug was introduced with version 2.2.0 both mantic as well
  as noble are affected.

  How to reproduce:
  1. Create a pool with at least one TRIM-capable device
  2. run "zpool set autotrim=on <pool>"
  3. watch the output of "top" or "runtime" and see how the load average 
increases permanently even when the system is idle by one per vdev
  4. running "ps aux | grep -w D" will show the broken threads:

  [root@test ~]# ps aux | grep -w D\<
  root        7193  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        D<   13:07   0:00 
[vdev_autotrim]
